In 2007 the iPhone was considered an abomination in size. I would not have been surprised if Apple said at the time that 3.5in screen is the maximum size a user would like to put in his pocket and they would have been right. In 2012, it is perfectly reasonable to sell a 4.8in phone. The company is adapting to the market and user expectation, even if that mean contradicting past decisions. Isn't that a good thing ?
